The Pallacanestro Trieste roster is strengthened with the addition of Leo Menalo, ala class 2002, Croatian by birth but educated in Italy. He arrives in Trieste after spending the last two seasons in the ranks of Virtus Segafredo Bolognaunder the guidance first of Sergio Scariolo and then of Luca Banchi.
“We are thrilled to have Leo on our team at this crucial time in the season – the comment of Red and White General Manager Michael Arcieri – He is a young man with great character, passion for the game and an excellent work ethic. He will bring skill, athleticism and versatility to our roster on both ends of the floor. We welcome Leo and his family to Trieste with warmth and enthusiasm.”

For three seasons he played in Series A2 alternating the Blue Star shirt with that of the Roseto Sharks, where he plays the championship on loan 2019/2020.
